It took He Tingchuan and Li Aiguo two trips to carry the seven or eight packages back home.
Suddenly, their little home seemed cramped and narrow.
Yun Jin was heavily pregnant and couldn't bend over to lift heavy objects, so He Tingchuan opened the package himself and showed it to her; she only needed to give instructions.
Li Aiguo also wanted to see what had been sent, but unfortunately he had to return the car. He took a bag of hawthorn flatbread that Yun Jin had given him and gave it to Li Aiguo to eat on the road; it was sent in a package.
Yun Jin looks like she's from Daoxiangcun.
This pastry shop was very famous. In later generations, Yun Jin inexplicably ate it and found it to be extremely sweet.
Later, a low-sugar version was introduced, which was less sweet and more palatable to young people.
They also make ox-tongue pastries, which taste great. They also have date cakes, peach blossom pastries, and other treats that look nice and taste good. Many people buy them just for their appearance.
Besides pastries, there are also shortbread, walnut shortbread, mung bean cakes, and other snacks.
Yun Jin was surprised to find that there was still a bird's nest. It was well protected, and although some parts were broken, the bird's nest itself was still intact. It looked like it weighed several ounces, enough for her to eat for a while.
Besides bird's nest, there's also sea cucumber.
Yun Jin was dumbfounded: "Did your mother put on the wrong clothes?"
He Tingchuan was both amused and exasperated: "I didn't pack it wrong, it was sent to you, so don't worry about eating it!"
"Are you sure it was her who gave me this food, and not you?" I felt flattered by this sudden kindness.
He Tingchuan couldn't help but pat her head: "Why would a grown man like me eat these things? My mom said you're pregnant and need to nourish yourself. Bird's nest and sea cucumber are nutritious, so I'll give you and the baby some nourishment."
She still didn't believe it, but she couldn't continue to question it.
In the novel, this Mrs. He looks down on Feng Qianqian in every way.
To be honest, Yun Jin felt that given the original owner's background, He's mother would have looked down on her even more.
Looking at the bird's nest and sea cucumber that were delivered, Yun Jin began to wonder if she had a cheat code or a popular character setting when she transmigrated into the book.
Otherwise, why would Mother He treat her so well?
It doesn't feel like it matches the character design from the original novel.
Looking at the high-quality bird's nest and the sea cucumber that looked like Liaoning sea cucumber, I didn't care what Mother He thought; since it had been sent, I couldn't let it go to waste.
Just like those tickets that He's mother gave to He Tingchuan, they all had to be used before they expired.
Yun Jin took out a piece of bird's nest: "Do you know how to stew bird's nest?"
He Tingchuan shook his head.
Yun Jin smiled and said, "I'll teach you. We'll each have a bowl after it's cooked. We can't let Mom's good intentions go to waste."
Yun Jin is also a pragmatic woman. When He's mother sent her bird's nest, she called her "Mom" repeatedly.
Before it was sent, your mother, your mom, the old lady.
She never called him "Mom" even once.
Since there was no stew pot at home, He Tingchuan went to borrow one. The compound had stew pots for stewing medicine, and he finally borrowed one from his sister-in-law who came from Guangdong Province. They liked to make soup and stew things like fish maw.
So we have a stew pot at home.
Knowing that He Tingchuan planned to stew bird's nest, she was worried that he wouldn't know how, so she enthusiastically told him how, and He Tingchuan listened attentively.
When Yun Jin was teaching him, she said something similar to what her sister-in-law from Guangdong Province had said.
He Tingchuan asked curiously, "How do you know how to stew these? I don't think many people in your hometown eat bird's nest."
Upon hearing this, Yun Jin almost gave herself away and immediately lied: "I heard it from Sister Xian. Isn't she from Guangzhou? She's a master at making soup, and she can also make bird's nest soup."
He Tingchuan's doubts were dispelled. Without thinking too much about it, he soaked the bird's nest as they instructed, and after cleaning it, he stewed it in a pot.
The bird's nest that Aunt He sent was very clean; there was no need to clean the swallow feathers.
Besides food, there were also other necessities, such as milk powder. It seemed that they were worried that Yun Jin wouldn't have enough milk after giving birth, so they bought a lot of domestic milk powder and several cans of imported milk powder.
It looks like it was bought from Friendship Store.
There were also various fabrics, such as polyester, old cotton cloth, diapers, fine cloth, and floral fabrics, all of which were clearly suitable for Yun Jin.
The child has seven or eight sets of clothes, all small and made of pure cotton.
There are also cute tiger-head hats and tiger-head shoes.
And the sweaters that Mother He knitted in her spare time were for the children, not for He Tingchuan and Yun Jin.
Seven or eight packages, filled with Mother He's love.
Having received so many favors from Mrs. He, it wouldn't be right not to make a phone call home.
Yun Jin asked He Tingchuan to go with her to make a phone call so she could personally thank He's mother.
The call was answered by the housekeeper, the one who had been specially assigned to take care of the elderly couple: "Hello?"
"Aunt Zhang, I am He Tingchuan." He Tingchuan introduced himself.
Aunt Zhang recognized his voice immediately and said excitedly, "Hey, wait a minute, I'll go get someone to answer the phone right now."
Soon, Mrs. He, wearing her reading glasses, answered the phone: "Little Third, has the package arrived?"
Upon hearing this form of address, Yun Jin curled the corners of her lips slightly.
When He Tingchuan saw this, his ears burned with embarrassment. His mother liked to call him that at home because he was the youngest in the family, the third child.
It's become a habit for Mrs. He to call her that; she can't change it.
When I was pregnant with him, he was the third child.
When angry, they call out his full name.
"We've arrived. Thank you for your kind gesture, Mom. I'm here too, and I wanted to talk to you." He Tingchuan conveyed Yun Jin's message.
Mrs. He was a little embarrassed: "Okay, I haven't spoken to her yet!"
Yun Jin took the receiver from He Tingchuan. It was an old-fashioned telephone, and Yun Jin wasn't used to it yet. She carefully put it to her ear and said, "Mom!"
Sweet and gentle, with a touch of the softness unique to southern girls, He's mother almost melted her heart: "Oh, my good child, don't blame me for not taking care of you during your postpartum period. Your father has difficulty walking, and I'm getting old. I can't take long train journeys; I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it."
